A nominative pronoun is used as a subject for a sentence or a clause. Example sentence:

Margaret bought a new dress, which was on sale, for the party. It was very pretty.

Answer 4

The second person, personal pronoun is you. The pronoun you functions as a singular or a plural, as a subject or an object. Examples:

• singular: John, you are a good friend. I'm always glad to see you.
• plural: Class, you will be leaving for the museum at ten. The bus will be waiting to pick youup.

The second person, possessive pronoun is yours. A possessive pronoun takes the place of a noun that belongs to you. Example:

• John, the sandwich on the counter is yours.

The second person, possessive adjective is your. A possessive adjective is placed before a noun to describe the noun as belonging to you. Example:

• Kids, your sandwiches are on the counter.

The second person, reflexive pronouns are yourself (singular) and yourselves (plural). A reflexive pronoun reflects back to its antecedent. Example:

• I see that you made yourselfa sandwich.

The reflexive pronouns also function as intensive pronouns. Intensive pronouns are placed directly after the antecedent to show emphasis. Example:

• Did both of you yourselves make these sandwiches?
